Academy duo Aviza and Herivaux spending school break learning from the pros

TUCSON, Ariz. – Under-16 goalkeeper Austin Aviza and Under-18 midfielder Zachary Herivaux have trained with the New England Revolution’s first team before, joining the professionals for an occasional workout when time permits during school breaks and summer vacation.

But during this week’s February school vacation, they’re taking that experience to a whole new level.

Aviza and Herivaux are currently part of the Revolution’s preseason camp in Tucson, Ariz., where for the next week they’ll eat, sleep and train as part of the club’s travel party. The Academy duo will even be eligible to play for the Revs in the first two games of the Desert Diamond Cup without jeopardizing their NCAA eligibility.
